About Mēkā

At mēkā, we are a multidisciplinary design and engineering studio turning creative ideas into innovative products. Our projects range from rapid prototyping and fabrication to full-scale product development — blending design, engineering, and innovation under one roof.

We’re looking for a motivated, hands-on Associate to join the Engineering Team — someone eager to learn, organised, and ready to get involved in how things are designed, built, and delivered.

This is an entry-level position designed to provide exposure across engineering, fabrication, and project coordination. Within 6 months, strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into a Junior Engineer role.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support the engineering and fabrication teams across both administrative and technical functions to ensure projects run smoothly from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Support & Coordination

• Assist in preparing project briefs, component lists, and basic costing sheets
• Coordinate timelines, suppliers, and internal resources
• Take meeting minutes and assist in task tracking across projects

2. Procurement & Vendor Coordination

• Source materials, components, and tools online (e.g. Alibaba, local suppliers)
• Communicate with vendors to compare quotes and follow up on orders
• Receive, inspect, and test delivered items to ensure quality and accuracy

3. Documentation & File Management

• Organise and maintain project files in Google Drive
• Document progress through photos, notes, and assembly records
• Prepare summary decks and reports for internal and client projects

4. Workshop & Inventory Support

• Assist with workshop upkeep and materials preparation
• Help manage inventory (filament, screws, cables, etc.)
• Support simple fabrication or finishing tasks (e.g. sanding, putty, spray painting) under supervision

5. Research & Learning

• Research engineering or fabrication methods, materials, and solutions
• Learn design tools and contribute to idea generation or concept sketches when possible

Who You Are

• Diploma or Degree (or currently pursuing) in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Curious, resourceful, and passionate about how things are made
• Comfortable communicating with suppliers and team members
• Basic hands-on skills (or willingness to learn) in fabrication or prototyping
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Proficient with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
• Familiarity with CAD tools (Fusion 360) and 3D printing

Why Join Us

• Be part of a creative and fast-moving engineering team
• Work on real-world innovation projects across multiple industries
• Gain end-to-end exposure to product design, fabrication, and delivery
• Clear pathway to Junior Engineer position within 6 months for high performers
• Learn from a multidisciplinary team blending design, engineering, and technology
